Sorry, I haven't saved the log, apparently :-( . I have asked bubulle
and adn if they might have the logs from #arabeyes on the night of
21st to 22nd, but I don't have an aswer yet.
If anybody has those logs I would appreciate it if he/she would send them to me.

Having looked again over the screenshots I made on the night of 21st
to 22nd of January, I suspect this conclusion might be erroneous, too
(notice the different look of the persian[1] and arabic[2] writing),
so I suggest ignoring this remark. (I'll wait for your ok, then remove
the remark from the wiki page)
